The restaurant is not much to look at and the line moves slow, shout out to the staff there is no where near enough of them and they were working their butts off!!!! The burgers, just wow, literally brought a tear to my eye they are so good. For the record I am not crying now while I reminisce about it, there is something in my eye. It is a sad statement that it has been so long that I have eaten at a restaurant and not left disappointed or feeling like I paid too much. Again the place was a madhouse and quality was on point, a taste sensation just so good!!!! I was with a group of 7 and everyone left with the same impression. 110% will be back!!!! Possibly the best restaurant in all the area, absolutely the best meal I had there. read more

I stumbled across Cookie Dough Monster as I was visiting the area and looking for a quick bite. CDM seems to be an area favorite and always busy (from the couple of times I went there and few times I drove by). Their food is good (better than the appearance of the store would have you expect) and very reasonably priced. Lots of good desert options too. The service is absolutely sub-par and in need of an overhaul. I would've given a higher review, had it not been for such unfriendly and a little rude of service. It was our first time there and the person with multi-colored hair at the register was visibly annoyed if we asked a question about some of their items and didn't have our order 100% ready to be placed. I'm not referring to holding up the line and being indecisive, just mean asking qualifying questions to make sure we don't order anything that our son with a severe nut allergy, would be affected by. I'd go back if I wanted a quick and tasty bite of food, with very low expectations of friendly service. read more

this was a good burger. Good customer service, the guy was very nice. He offered us a military discount, which was super. We sat in there and ate our burgers. The fries were very good. We just got a basic island burger and a CI6 burger I think. The burgers were messy though, but but very juicy. I'm not gonna hit them for a four just because it was messy. The service in my overall experience five star. read more

We stopped in at Cookie Dough Monster to try some desserts and overall had a decent experience. The sweet treats we tried were very reasonably priced, which was a pleasant surprise. That said, they were out of quite a few things--including chocolate ice cream, napkins, spoons, and even ice. What took the cake for us was they are called the cookie dough monster but were out of cookie dough ?!?! The inside of the restaurant was also pretty dirty, which took away from the overall vibe. As a local, I'd say there are definitely better places to eat in the area, but if you're craving a quick dessert on a budget, it's worth a stop--just know it might be hit or miss. read more

This place is AMAZING. We arrived about an hour before closing on a Friday night. They were PACKED. They told us to grab a menu, find a seat, and head up to order when we were ready. The person taking orders was FAB! They were hilarious, answered all the questions I asked, and let me know how this place worked. The burgers were AMAZING. I'm not a burger person, but the mac daddy I dream of. My partner said he'd eat all his meals here. The cookie dough was also delicious--try the scooby snack! Try this place out. They're busy, they're short staffed, but the food is worth it all. read more

Cookie Dough Monster quite literally saved our night for my (second) birthday dinner. Okay, let's be honest...if anyone has been reading my reviews, I had a lot of birthday dinners during our stay in Pigeon Forge. We were originally going to go somewhere else but due to the lack of customer service and nobody wanting to get our order in, we called Cookie Dough Monster instead. They immediately answered the phone and were very polite! We ordered the Mac Daddy, Poppers, and Goudas Mac. Ya'll. Their mac and cheese is some of the best I've ever had!! My husband was upset we didn't get more of it. It's insanely flavorful and comforting. It's the kind of food you will always remember, and in this case, I'd say, "remember that cookie dough place that had the amazing mac and cheese? The place in Pigeon Forge? I want to go back." I mean, yea, everything was good...but holy crap. I'm telling you, order the Gouda Mac! I regret not ordering any cookie dough but to be fair, I made the order about an hour before closing and already felt like a nuisance ordering that late. Next time, though. Oh yes, because there will be a next time! read more

Multiple visits here during the last few years and Cookie Dough Monster has consistently provided excellent food, service and a clean place to eat! Their burgers/sandwiches, etc., are always freshly made to order and so delicious. They may be overlooked because they're not on the main drag, but they're a hidden gem definitely a top 10 of Sevier County! read more

The restaurant was very messy. The tables were not clean and the floor had trash all over it. The burger was not worth the price.

The milkshakes are to die for! I got the dirty brownie, and it was my favorite thing. The wait was really long, but they did warn us ahead of time and they worked hard! read more

Let me start off by saying the food was DELICIOUS!!!! The burger was great, the Mac and cheese was great, unfortunately we didn't get dessert but I'm sure it's also great! Aside from that, the restaurant could use some help. It was a bit chaotic in there, there were no napkins, no silverware, and the soda was The starry was literally just carbonated water and the Dr Pepper was watered down for some reason. I totally understand restaurants can have bad days so I'm hoping that's what it was! But the food is 10/10!!! read more

Good spot for people visiting and locals. Solid everyday choice here for good food. Overall good experience.

A very welcoming place and easily accessible. Great lighting and good music was playing throughout meal, but not overly loud to where you can't talk to one another. The burger was delicious. I think we walked out of there spending around $40. I got the Betty White Burger which is pretty basic. I think it was around $13. My girlfriend got a burger with fries around $15. We then got six of the cookie dough bites to go after our meal and they were delicious. For the cookie dough bites, I'm positive we got the Oreo, Sugar Cookie, and Chocolate Chip. I'm not sure what other flavors we got, but we ate them all and thoroughly enjoyed them. They were a little pricey but it's an experience! read more

During a recent visit to family in the area, I decided to check out this burger joint based on a recommendation that it serves the best burgers around. Tucked away in an unassuming strip mall off the main drag, I initially mistook the name for that of a dessert place. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that it was so much more than that. When I arrived, it was still relatively early for dinner. While there were a few other diners, I had my pick of tables. The seating area is straightforward and casual, adorned with some decorations that add a touch of charm without being over the top. After perusing the menu, I decided to try the Bacon Bomber burger, accompanied by a Caesar salad and an order of their Animal Fries special, which are topped with a generous mix of cheddar and mozzarella cheese, sautéed onions, bacon, and 1,000 Island dressing. My companions opted for the Blue Bae burger, a Betty White burger, and a mini corn dog plate. The food arrived surprisingly quickly, and I was excited to dig in. The Bacon Bomber was a delicious fusion of spicy and savory flavors that hit the spot, but the real star of the meal for me was the Animal Fries. The combination of toppings created an explosion of flavor that was exactly what I was craving. Even the plain fries were enhanced by a delightful spice blend that made them irresistible. I took a bite of the Blue Bae burger and found it quite enjoyable. While I'm typically not a fan of blue cheese, the flavor was surprisingly mild and didn't overpower the other components of the burger. To top off our meal, we couldn't resist taking some cookie dough bites to go. Among the flavors I tried, the S'mores and Caramel Heath were absolute standouts--rich, indulgent, and the perfect sweet treat. The staff were friendly and welcoming, though it's worth noting that the restaurant operates on a counter-service model, meaning diners are responsible for busing their own tables after eating. Overall, I had a fantastic experience and would definitely return whenever I'm in the mood for a good burger. This hidden gem not only lives up to its reputation but also offers a laid-back atmosphere and mouthwatering food to keeps you coming back. read more

My friend & I left Dollywood wanting a burger so we checked this place out for the first time. It was pretty busy when we went but there was 1 little table available for us to sit down (they might have been short-staffed for the rush as there were some tables that could've been available for other guests if they had been cleared off & cleaned). The food was good & hot. They had tons of options & we struggled to pick what we wanted to try first. We loved seeing Squidward on the wall as well as all their plays on words & names. One regret we definitely have was not getting dessert. Overall, we really enjoyed this place. read more

My wife and I visited this spot on Dec 7th 2025. They explained the menu very well and answered any questions we had. I ordered the Nashville hot chicken sandwich, I forgot the name. I also got it with a side salad with their house made Bleu Cheese aioli, which was absolutely AMAZING!!! My wife ordered the mushroom Swiss burger and fries with a side of jalapeño poppers. As we waited we noticed that the restaurant was very clean. We received our food very quickly and it was totally amazing. Wish I would have gotten the Bleu Cheese Aioli in place of the other sauces. It was so good. I highly recommend this place. read more

This was a great little local gem I have been wanting to try. The food was delicious and the service was quick and friendly! I had the BBQ Bacon burger which had bacon, barbecue sauce, lettuce, tomato, red onion and grilled pineapple. I'd probably get it without the lettuce next time as it made the bun a bit soggy, but the flavor with that grilled pineapple was on point. I didn't have dessert on this visit, but it was only because I was really full. They had a whole menu just for all the choices of cookie dough,milkshakes, ice cream and more which I will have on my next visit. Overall, fun atmosphere, really great, flavorful food and a dessert menu to please just about anyone after a day of fun in Sevierville or Pigeon Forge. read more

The food was amazing. We had burgers and no one was disappointed. Kids had milkshakes and they were delicious. Staff was friendly. The girl that waited on us was amazing.

I was craving a juicy cheeseburger today and had this restaurant saved in my "try" list because of the high reviews. It's a simple spot in a strip mall. It looked like a cute and unique spot with lots of interesting menu options so I was hoping it would be incredible. Sadly, nothing about my experience was good. The music was so loud when I walked in, I couldn't hear the cashier mumbling to me and they were leaned on the counter. Apparently, they were telling me the menu could only be accessed with a QR code. That's fine with me... I'd already decided before I arrived. After ordering and paying, I saw the paper with the specials. The cashier hadn't pointed this out when she showed me the WR code. I would have picked the French Dip type burger instead...but based on the quality of my food, it wouldn't have mattered. It took around 10-15 minutes for my food despite being the only one waiting on an order. There were 3 people eating inside. I got my order to go but only had to drive about 5 minutes so my food was still hot. The fries were the first thing I dug into. Sadly, they were inedible from the amount of grease. They had no other flavor. Also, why was the sour cream crusted onto the fries if they'd just been made? I'm not sure what the seasoning was...it looked like pieces of dried rosemary... but they gave no flavor and just an additional bad texture. The burger was a large size. It was more rectangular than round. Unfortunately, it was also incredibly greasy and bland. The pickles and mustard were the only things with flavor. Now, I don't mind some good greasy food now and again.This was not the good type of greasy, though. I'm really disappointed I wasted $18 on something I couldn't even eat. I would have been better off going through the McDonald's drive thru. From the depressing atmosphere and service to the low quality, poorly prepared food, this is a place I'd suggest you skip. read more

EXTREMELY overrated. We both got burgers here. Mine was very chewy and his wasn't. I don't know why one burger would be chewy and one not. Dirty tables and nobody cleaning them. Upon paying for our order at the COUNTER, it suggested we tip. What exactly are we tipping for? We had to retrieve our order when it was done and cleaned up our own mess at the table. We filled and refilled our own drinks. ( Which there was NO ice!!) Every restaurant has gotten tip happy! I tip for wait service, not counter service! Pay your employees, don't pass it off to customers! read more

We stopped in here looking for a quick meal after a long day at Dollywood. The place was about half full, it is loud, with music playing, but great because it hides the noise of a family with young children. Food was AWESOME. Mushroom/ Swiss burger was incredible, wife liked her Betty White and the kids meals were good too. Despite a decent crowd, food was out quickly, and again, I cannot tell you how worthwhile it is getting food here. I'm just sad we ate without taking pictures. read more

Nice place with great view of the water. Good was awesome! Pimento cheese was really good. Not a fan of the slaw though.
